2015 - Act!

As part of the Design Your Destiny course that I took at the end of 2014, one of the exercises was coming up with a word to represent 2015.  Honestly, I was hesitant to do this.  Part of the reason is that I have known other people that have done this, and they drove me crazy with their words.  I know - weird.  I wasn't really thinking about it until I saw this picture:

This got me thinking.  I had already started my year in a much better place because of all of the goal setting and planning I had done during the Design Your Destiny course.  What could really make this year the year that changes everything?  Action.  And then it was confirmed.  2015 is the year that I act on the goals that I have made.

I began researching the word act.  The definition for act is: take action; do something.  That is EXACTLY what I need to do in 2015.  I need to take action.  I need to do something.  In essence, I need to become a woman of my word.  I need to stop SAYING and start DOING.

I saw this quote, and it spoke to me:

I have been filled with doubt and fear for most of my life.  It is time I go out and get busy.  It is time that I act.  

Now I know that some of you are rolling your eyes or thinking things like yea, right, Allison, I will see it when I believe it.  Guess what?  I am doing the exact. same. thing.  Part of me is being super negative and fighting those voices in my head that tell me that I am just going to fail - again.  That haunts me.

But there is something different about this time.  There is part of me that is feeling hopeful and determined and most importantly, ready to act.  2015 is the year that I will act.
